I am Back in Sanford!

caminata2

It’s always nice to come home after a looong trip, especially if this trip happens to be your first trip with your baby! We were out of town for 3 weeks and only now I am realizing how long that really was. Here are some of the things that have made it very hard for [...]

Picture of My Day – 72 – 11-11-11 or 10 Months

Nicolas 10 Months

Don’t you love today’s date? 11-11-11. That also marks my little (or shall I say big?) son’s 10 month anniversary! How can it be already 10 months I wonder? It seems like 1-11-11 was just yesterday! Pin It

Picture of My Day – 66 – The 80s Are Back

66

Well, the 80s have been back in style for quite a while now. In fact, when I was getting ready to my friend’s big 80s birthday bash, I was surprised how much the 80s have influenced my closet in the past years: skinny jeans, leggings, jumpsuits, neon colors, you name it. No wonder my outfit [...]

Picture of My Day – 41 – 9 Months

9 month onesie

Time flies! N is 9 months old today – only 3 more months and he is officially a toddler. Why can’t he stay a baby longer? Sometimes I wish I could stop time just for a little… I got those month by month onesies here. They are so fun and a great memory of how [...]

Picture of My Day – 38 – Wakulla

Wakulla Cookie

So despite the beyond awful weather (non-stop rain) in pretty much all of Central Florida and the coast we still dared to go on our long planned beach weekend trip. Close friends of us invited us to join them for their “Wakulla” reunion (= at Wakulla Suites in Cocoa Beach). Needless to say, it turned [...]

Picture of My Day – 37 – The Baby Suitcase is Packed

the baby suitcase

The baby suitcase is packed (isn’t it cute? this used to be my baby suitcase, then it turned into a beauty box, and now it is again a baby suitcase)! We will be going on a little trip with N – his first one, so I am excited (obviously more than him). Sadly though, just [...]

Picture of My Day – 21 – Gangsta Dragon

dragon costume

I know, it’s early, but I just had to have N try on his very first Halloween costume (now I can still control what he’ll be for Halloween – I didn’t want to take advantage of that though, Hot Dog costumes are just too mean…). He’s my little dragon!! It almost looks like he’s getting [...]

Picture of My Day – 11 – The Food Truck Bazaar

Oviedo Food Truck Bazaar

Today we attended our first Food Truck Bazaar in Oviedo. There will be a post coming up soon about those wonderful little events and our experience there. Just know so much: we had a great time and will definitely go again! I love food trucks – not only because they are super trendy yet so [...]

Picture of My Day – 8 – I’m a Baby Food Cook Now

Zuccini Banana Polenta

N is a lucky baby. Now that he is almost 8 months old and pretty much having a “real” lunch every day, I am preparing fresh food for him whenever I can. Today I tried a new recipe that I found in one of my many baby cook books: Zucchini-Banana Polenta (= corn grits). You [...]

Picture of My Day – 6 – Personal Pizza

Homemade Pizza

The lasagna I had for lunch today was apparently not enough so I decided to throw a little “personal pizza” in the oven. My toppings: tomatoes, Ricotta cheese and Spinach. That was also always the combination I chose when eating pizza after a night downtown – you know, one of those greasy spoon type pizza [...]

Picture of My Day – 4 – Men and Women

4

Seems like it already starts in young years: can you see the frustration on my son’s face? I wonder what his little girlfriend was trying to tell him… Or was it because she stole his binky? The picture was taken at a friend’s house where we had a fun BBQ. Hope you are all having [...]

The Sweet Reason for My Absence

37 Weeks - Photographer: Kamran Malik

This blog has suffered quite some abandonment in the past year and I want to sincerely apologize for that. Trust me, I really thought about it all the time, in fact every single time I am out and about I think about how I could turn my experience into a blog post. A lot has [...]

Day 365 – Ingolstadt

Home Sweet Home

…Ingolstadt! My home town in Germany, that’s where the trip went ;o) The picture shows my parents’ home. So my old home is the setting for the end of the 365 challenge about Sanford, FL (my new home). I can’t think of a better ending… I am enjoying my family and friends and the short [...]

Day 364 – Blogging from MCO

So I am sitting here at MCO (Orlando International Airport) waiting for my plane. Yay, I’m looking forward to this trip so much! It’s kind of funny that this challenge will not end in Sanford but in … [to be continued. ..Wait for tomorrow's post] Pin It

Day 354 – Couch Potato Day before Labor Day

Couch Potatoe Day

So I guess our official “Labor Day” was today since we spent a good amount of time on the couch. I am not sure how the name “couch potato” was invented but I think that’s what we were today. We watched almost 3 movies and were just lazy. That’s because tomorrow’s Labor Day will be [...]

Day 352 – Depeche Mode Concert in Tampa FL

Before the Concert

How exciting, we went to the Depeche Mode concert at the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa! I have been a fan of this awesome band since my teen years so I couldn’t wait to finally see them live. It was such a great experience and I didn’t want the concert to end. Below are more pictures [...]

Day 349 – Eddie Money Concert Fields BMW Orlando FL

Eddie Money Concert Orlando FL

Tonight we were invited to the anniversary party of Fields BMW featuring Eddie Money who was going to perform live for all guests. Well, Florida’s weather kind of got in the way and the concert was canceled last minute even though the stage and everything had already been set up. Luckily Fields BMW had an [...]

Day 344 – A farewell at Carlos and Charlies

Lupe and I

Wow, 2 days in a row at Carlos and Charlies? Yes, it’s been a crazy week. Tonight we all got together to say good-bye to Lupe and ended up at Carlos and Charlies in Lake Mary. Since it was a Thursday night, Carlos and Charlies had $2 Margaritas all night. The music was great (good [...]

Day 332 – Building Up a Tent

It took 3 to build it up

This month we are the hosts for the monthly wine club meeting (had previously hosted it in April). So because we expected rain we thought ahead and built up a cabana tent on our patio. And we were right, it did rain! But thanks to the tent we all stayed dry and had a great [...]

Day 329 – The Eola Squirrel

Squirrel by Lake Eola Orlando

Those of you who know me a bit better might know that I find squirrels absolutely adorable! On top of that they make me laugh everytime they run/jum around – hillarious ) I have no clue what it is about those little rodents that I like so much… Squirrels seem to be quite common in [...]
